Your Cinema Needs You

Your Cinema Needs You traces the origins of the Monarch Theatre and its unexpected, but eventful evolution in becoming the oldest, surviving, purpose-built cinema remaining in Canada today. Through closures, advances in technology, and a cast of characters who have kept it alive through decades of challenges, Your Cinema Needs You tells the story of "the coolest little single-screen movie house you've never heard of" since it first opened its doors on December 21, 1911.
